The Little Animals
by Sarah Tolmie
Antoni Van Leeuwenhoek, a quiet linen draper in Delft, has discovered
a new world: the world of the little animals, or animalcules, that he
sees through his simple microscopes. These tiny creatures are
everywhere, even inside us. But who will believe him? Not his wife,
not his neighbors, not his fellow merchants—only his friend Reinier
De Graaf, a medical doctor. Then he meets an itinerant goose girl at
the market who lives surrounded by tiny, invisible voices. Are these
the animalcules also? Leeuwenhoek and the girl form a curious
alliance, and gradually the lives of the little animals infiltrate
everything around them: Leeuwenhoek’s cloth business, the art of his
friend Johannes Vermeer, the nascent sex trade, and people’s religious
certainties. But Leeuwenhoek also needs to cement his reputation as a
natural philosopher, and for that he needs the Royal Society of
London—a daunting challenge, indeed, for a Dutch draper who can't
communicate in Latin.
"[A] charming mannerist fairy tale and a provocative account of the
birth of our own modern worldview."

and peculiar empowerment—and don’t forget to pick up your spare heart
while you’re there.

Everything is Made of Letters
by Sofía Rhei
A man risks his life by carefully forging bibliographic references in
a parallel Barcelona; at the Cyclotech, a woman strives to keep the
storytelling different engine safe from ignorant hands that could get
words lost; off-planet, an interpreter gives an account of her
language learning process involving a realistic alien doll that claims
to be a sentient being… Words boast a heavy, at times disturbing,
weight of their own across these alternative realities in which
language rules supreme, fleshed out by the mind of one of the most
prolific writers in contemporary Spanish genre fiction.
